The Hoxton’s signage

THE OCCASION After much anticipation, The Hoxton finally opened its doors with a grand opening celebration in what was once Mare Nostrum. THE GUESTS Miami Mayor Tomas Regalado joined restaurant owner Santiago Rodriguez to launch the event with an official ribbon-cutting ceremony. Among the guests in attendance were The Glades’ own Carlos Gomez, Fabian and Martina Basabe, and many other imbibers and socialistas. THE SCOOP After the official political blessing from the mayor, guests moved inside to check out the space. A performance by local jazz favorite Cat Shell kept the crowd entertained as they enjoyed Moët Ice Imperial and bites from the restaurant’s menu. Photos by Nathan Valentine/World Red Eye
